30 something woman here, apparently I masturbate a lot compared to my friends.
I have to say “yeah once a week too” when they raise the subject ,when in fact it is multiple times a day. Husband would also do 2 times a day if he kept to his “normal” cadence. I know “whatever works for me” is right, but I’d like to compare to other people my age that aren’t my friends.
Do you have ADHD? If you do than you’re probably just chasing dopamine. Doesn’t mean you’re doing it an unhealthy amount, but if you’re doing it cuz you’re ‘bored’ not, ‘horny’ than that’s probably why.
Me personally it aches afterwards if I jack it too many times in one day. I don’t know about women. I imagine uterine walls can only handle so much dildo friction while clits can only handle so much vibrator stim before they start complaining.
I also think what kind of porn you consume, if any, can be a factor. Like when I go long stints away from the wife watching porn I get desensitized mentally and seek out more intense content. I think depending on the person and the content it can have negative mental effects if overdone.
I do actually, though I tend to be actually horny, usually because of porn I guess, which is very a very regular part of my routine.
I don’t usually use toys, just fingers. With exceptions maybe once a week. I have always been multi orgasmic though, even from the age I first found my clit really. It doesn’t get sensitive unless I really abuse it lol
You might have a bit of a feedback loop going. Your body craves dopamine and gets it from being horny so when it needs dopamine it makes you horny so you’ll go get it.
I have adhd and i found my boy-clitoris way before my parents expected and somehow built a habit casually masturbating while playing video games before I could even physically ejaculate. So now when I’m playing a game I still get the urge to stop and jack off simply cuz of how they got associated.
Same, I was a very early starter and console controller vibrations helped a lot.
